[zeromq-dev] How to get client's identity

[Bharat Somani]

Hi,

Can you point to any API/example which will facilitate the addition of
key-value (meta-data) pairs in the message sent from client?
I tried to search with respect to ZAP and found that it only facilitates
the type of authentication to be used. But I am not able to locate any API
which add/retrieve the key value pairs.


Regards,
Bharat
